Congratulations!! In my opinion, the first semester is/was one of the hardest because of all the adjustments one needs to make. Pat on the back! Now prepare yourself for what lies ahead and take it one semester at a time! I'm going into my last one soon and it seems just like yesterday I started! Good luck with the rest!!

Working full time Considering taking a ski trip right before school starts. Reading some good books. Catch up on movies and tv shows. Can't wait until my break!

My school has what appears to be a 50% drop rate. Some drop, and most are dropped if they can't achieve a certain average by the semester's end. My class started with around 65+ plus people, and now it has dwindle down to around 40 in my 3rd semester. We are faring a bit better than our previous classes though. I think the drop rate has a lot to do with the amount of material covered in a short amount of time, and some external factors (kids, work, etc) that some students have difficulty balancing along with our demanding school requirements. I wish it weren't this way, as I've seen a lot of friends come and go, but I suppose that is the nature of our program.
